A heartwarming small-town medical romance about grief, healing and daring to love again. Second-chance romance set in an English medical practice, with slow-burn friendship-to-love and quiet emotional depth.
Some Wounds Heal. Others You Carry.
Ten years after losing her fiancé, Esme McBride has built walls no one has managed to climb. As senior nurse at Leytonsfield Medical Centre she's dedicated, capable and determined to keep her heart locked away.
Dr Joel Whittaker arrives with charm, patience and a past of his own. Hoping for a fresh start, he never imagined falling for Esme, or glimpsing the vibrant woman buried beneath her grief. But Joel's history is never far behind, and Esme isn't sure her heart could survive breaking twice.
As friendship deepens into something more, both of them face the same question: is a second chance worth risking everything they have rebuilt?
Lost for Words is an emotional instalment in the McBride's series, for readers who love second chances, small-town medical settings, wounded hearts and slow-burn love. Perfect for fans of Lucy Dillon, Jo Bartlett and Sarah Morgan.
